Description
Wild Card Brewery was founded in 2012 at the Ravenswood Industrial Estate Walthamstow.

We brewed Mon-Fri and come the weekend, we would open the brewery doors and serve up our beers. With support from the local community our shed became one of Walthamstow's best loved bars, hosting beer festivals, tap takeovers and live music.

Meanwhile, in the brewery, Jaega was working away, tweaking old recipes and coming up with new ones. By 2017 she had 2 award winning beers under her belt and was struggling to make enough beer to keep up with demand - we were going to need a bigger brewery. So in 2017, we started a crowdfunding campaign to help us move the brewery to a bigger site.

In 2018 the brewery moved over to Lockwood Way, where we have doubled capacity - which means lots of Wild Card beer for all.

Wild Card Brewery now has two tap rooms in Walthamstow, and our beer is available in pubs, bars, restaurants and supermarkets across the UK.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours mostly clear gold with a creamy, white head. Simple grainy pale malts in the nose, some aged lemon rind, hay. Light sweet flavour with notes of biscuits, straw, more lemon rind, subtle grassy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Reasonably well balanced in the finish, with some further pale grains, citrus peel, mellow bitter grass, straw, more biscuits. Not bad. Easygoing beverage.

Can picked up at Oddbins Ldn Bridge. It pours clear pinkish - golden with a small white head. The aroma is soft of sweet - sour, tangy, cherry drops, earthy, musty, wet leaves and barnyard funk. The taste is drying, more bitterness than expected, earthy, musty, dirty funk, wood, tannin, berry skin, mouldy stuff, damp leaves and a bit of dirty spice with a drying and vaguely tannic finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Wish the cherry character was more expressive and this was cleaner. Tough going to get through really.
